Morris boys slip past Franklin

One day after clinching the Tri-Valley League West Division boys soccer title, visiting Morris needed a goal from Mike Deluca with 15 minutes left to beat Franklin, 2-1, on Tuesday.

"It was a good tight ballgame," Franklin coach Eric Haight said. "We gave them everything they could handle."

Josh Rutherford's goal on a direct kick from 25 yards gave the Mustangs a 1-0 lead 11 minutes into the second half.

Derek Beers tied the score for Franklin a few minutes later on a header.

Morris (11-1-1) improved to 10-0-1 in league play.

Haight said he was pleased with the improvement his 3-8 squad has shown throughout the season.

"We haven't won a lot, but we've grown up as a team and now we're becoming competitive with the good teams," he said.

Franklin hosts Laurens on Thursday.
